A little housekeeping from over the weekend. The Dodgers and Tigers came together on a trade that sent minor league reliever Lael Lockhart to Detroit for cash considerations. Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic was the first to report the deal on Twitter.

Lockhart was a 9th round draft pick out of the University of Arkansas in 2021. The 25-year-old left-hander has spent time starting and relieving in the Dodgers’ minor league system but has struggled while trying to climb the ranks.
